Fit At 75 by Douglas Malewicki

FIT AT 75, tries to answer the question, "WHY at an advanced age of 75, are some healthy, mobile and happy, and others are not?" Is it inherited longevity genetics or their lifestyle choices over the preceding decades that effectively forestalls so called "normal" age-related body and brain deterioration? Is it possible to identify what these FIT AT 75 people are doing differently and have in common that keeps them as healthy and fit as the average 50 year old? There have to be some reasons why they don't need to take any prescription drugs; or have to use canes or walkers; or have required knee or hip replacements or back surgeries. Self proclaimed geezer, Doug Malewicki is honest in his assessment of what he has figured out over the years about staying healthy and being mobile. He firmly believes the key is "Stay active to remain capable of being active". Anyone who gets and stays as active as he is will indeed age more slowly than those who don't follow his simple fun recipes. 75 is the new 50... If YOU want it to be! Malewicki is one of those FIT AT 75 people. He practices strange rituals such as celebrating his birthday by running-his-age (most recently a 76@76 in 3 days, which is something he has been doing since his 70@70 for that earlier birthday). Another of his pagan-like rituals for the last 6 years has been starting each New Year morning by running-the-year in the local mountains with friends (20.10 miles in 2010 though 20.15 miles in 2015). Doug's book sums up his real life, anti-aging experiences for the reader with interviews of several other fascinating FIT AT 75 people along with visual proofs, a touch of irreverent humor and many useful links. Doug has proven that age is just a number. The book radiates the joy of being alive and active that he hopes will inspire and entertain the reader. Doug is an anti-sedentarianism-ist. He and his wife are also apprentice Hara Hachi Bu-ists.
